Religion
Matthew 5:10: Not for my fault, or folly's sake
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Not for my fault, or folly's sake,
The name, or mode, or form I take,
But for true holiness.
Let me be wrong'd, reviled, abhorr'd.
And Thee my sanctifying Lord
life and death confess.
